London's Mayfair may be the most haute and high-end address on the British Monopoly board, but when Irene Gunter of Gunter & Co was given (relatively) free rein to work on this apartment, she wanted to relax the space a little. To soften it, to make it like the visual equivalent of your shoulders dropping as you exhale. "I wanted to give the apartment a sense of summer," Irene says, which explains why this light-filled space feels just as fresh as it does.
A show apartment in the new 60 Curzon development, Irene used all the design tricks that she'd always suggest as ways to add personality: curves, color, and conviviality. "Because it's an Art Deco building, the curves felt very natural here," she adds, of the curved banquette seating, curved joinery, and curved edges to the main bedroom's headboard.
